DLSS Lifts Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2 Beyond Its Specs

Digital Foundry finds the Switch 2 port of Resident Evil Requiem uses DLSS to upscale a 540p base to 1080p, yielding image quality that often surpasses the Series S native 720p. However, the port runs with an unlocked, variable frame-rate (roughly 30–60fps docked, lower in handheld) and includes some visual downgrades (hair, textures). Despite these compromises, core visuals are preserved and DLSS is the standout feature driving the port’s success.

The Limitations of Inexpensive Digital Microscopes

Cheap digital microscopes, like the Tomlov DM9, often overstate their capabilities, especially in magnification and image quality, due to fundamental physics limitations. They have small sensors and limited depth of field, making their images less detailed compared to higher-end macro lenses on larger sensors. While they may be sufficient for casual use, their performance is significantly inferior to more expensive equipment, and their advertised specifications can be misleading.

PS5 Pro Users Frustrated by Game Performance Issues and Outdated Upscaler

The PlayStation 5 Pro's AI-powered PSSR upscaler is facing issues in some games due to the use of older versions of the upscaler. A developer noted that games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which uses Unreal Engine 4, are stuck with SDK 9, preventing them from utilizing the latest upscaler version that requires SDK 10 or higher. This results in poorer image quality. However, improvements are expected in future game batches as newer upscaler versions are implemented.
